Like Waves Against The Sand

Let me tell you

Some truths of life,

Joy is not for the few

And nor is misery rife,

Its really sad

But bliss comes and goes

Like waves against the sand

In our youth

We begin to court,

And we swear

Never to break heart,

Its really sad

But love comes and goes

Like waves against the sand

We have friends

And we have relatives,

Some help till our end

While others give us the peeve,

Its really sad

But folks come and go

Like waves against the sand

Parents aid their dear

And support their kin,

Some lend their ear 

Others throw caution to the wind,

Its really sad

But time comes and goes

Like waves against the sand

This list can go on and on

We cannot sit idle and pray,

A simple moral must follow on

So listen to what I have to say

Your brain is your weapon

Listen to me, girls and boys

Its edge you must always sharpen

Without it you have no other choice

You should be glad

Wisdom never comes and goes

Like waves against the sand
